Arnold Schwarzenegger defends his viral brag about his son Patrick's manhood in The White Lotus
Arnold Schwarzenegger is so proud of his son Patrick Schwarzenegger 's success following his scantily-clad role as the wealthy Saxon Ratliff in season three of HBO 's The White Lotus, that he's repeatedly bragged about his nude scenes.
The 31-year-old nepo baby was so mortified about the way his 77-year-old famous father referred to his genitalia during their Variety's Actors on Actors interview that he tweeted on June 3: 'Who the heck says weenie?'
'Well I do,' Arnold defended on Monday's Late Night with Seth Meyers.
'In the seventies, that's what you said, you know? But maybe today they call it something else, I don't know. What do they call it now?'
The 51-year-old talk show host replied: 'Weenie still works.'
'It still works, right?' Schwarzenegger laughed.
The former California Governor beamed with pride as he posed with Patrick on the red carpet of his FUBAR season two premiere, which was held at Netflix Tudum Theater in LA last Wednesday.
'Patrick just blew it out of the water. I mean, it was, like, really amazing, what he did on White Lotus, and the amount of attention he's getting now,' Arnold gushed.
Schwarzenegger went on to reveal how fans, especially women, used to give him their cards, but now they're asking him to pass their info on to the American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez actor.
'Now everything changed. Everything is about Patrick, Patrick, Patrick,' the Austrian-born action star smiled.
Also joining Arnold at his FUBAR event were his slimmed-down son Christopher, 27; elusive daughter Christina, 33; influencer daughter Katherine, 35; (with ex-wife Maria Shriver) as well as her husband Chris Pratt.
'I think all of my kids are fantastic,' Schwarzenegger gushed. 'I'm really proud of them.'
Much ado was made over how the Golden Globe winner posed separately with his 27-year-old love child Joseph Baena, whom he welcomed during a secret affair with his housekeeper Mildred 'Patty' Baena that resulted in the end of his 25-year marriage.
The divorce was finalized in 2021.
Patrick is every bit the mama's boy as he and his 69-year-old famous mother are co-founders of the granola bar company MOSH: The Brain Brand, which helps fund Alzheimer's research.
Last week, the USC grad landed his next gig alongside fellow nepo baby Margaret Qualley in Rachel Morrison's romantic drama Love of Your Life for Amazon MGM Studios, which begins shooting this August in Europe.

'I love love love this script! Y'all will love this!' Patrick gushed on Instagram.
'Such a beautiful story. So thankful for the opportunity to work opposite Margaret, and with these incredible producers Ryan Gosling and Jessie Henderson and Amazon MGM. Lastly to Rachel Morrison. Can't wait to collaborate with you. Thank you for this opportunity. If you haven't seen her other work - you should!'
Meanwhile, Arnie executive produced and reprised his role as CIA operative Luke Brunner in the eight-episode second season of Nick Santora's daddy-daughter spy comedy series FUBAR, which premiered last Thursday on Netflix.
Schwarzenegger will next portray Santa Claus in Adam Shankman's Christmas action comedy The Man with the Bag for Amazon MGM Studios - hitting limited US theaters October 3 - alongside Alan Ritchson, Jane Krakowski, Ken Jeong, and Awkwafina.

How Brad Pitt's favourite watch got its own starring role in F1
Brad Pitt may be best known for appearing in some of cinema's biggest blockbusters, but as a figure in the public eye for nearly four decades, he's also no stranger to scrutiny when it comes to his style choices. Alongside the clothes on his back, his hoard of statement watches has been well documented. And with the release of this season's high-octane motor-racing movie F1, Pitt's interest in horology is set to be centre stage again. The film, which is co-produced by Lewis Hamilton, stars Pitt as Sonny Hayes, who returns to the track to reclaim his lost glory following a spell in rehabilitation. But long before the movie's premiere this month — for which IWC is the sponsor of the fictional racing team and supplied all the timepieces — watch aficionados were caught up in a speculative frenzy when images of Pitt found their way into media channels. What had them bamboozled was a mystery green-dialled watch that was perfectly colour-coordinated with Pitt's elegant Sunspel sweatshirt and leather holdall. Theories swirled as to whether this was a 'prop' watch or something with more substance. It turned out to be the latter. 'Some time ago I got an email from somebody called 'BP' and I discarded it at first, until my team asked me if I had got an email from Brad Pitt,' says Chris Grainger-Herr, the CEO of IWC, recalling his astonishment when the actor got in touch. Pitt's message concerned the watch he thought his character should wear in the film, and a particular IWC model would be the only one up to muster. He requested an IWC Ingenieur SL 1832, a vintage 1976 model by Gérald Genta — often considered the godfather of modern watch design — who was also responsible for the cult Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. 'He was very specific — he wanted it half as thick as the original and a special dial colour,' Grainger-Herr adds. Pitt also requested that the modifications involve his jeweller, Cloister Watch Co in New York, which is famed for its customisation work. The dial Pitt chose, a moss green that is his character's signature colour in the film, never existed in the original Seventies iteration — and was what had watch fanatics scratching their heads. Ingenieur Automatic 40, IW328908, £11,100, Christian Knoop, IWC's creative director, and his team were so taken with this one-off 'fictional' watch designed by the actor that they decided to launch their own tribute to his timepiece. The result is a contemporary spin on Pitt's remodelled vintage design, which still retains the Seventies swagger of the film version with a slick, integrated bracelet and angular case, but has all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a modern watch, including a high-spec self-powered movement that will keep ticking for 120 hours off the wrist. And that green dial has been given a textural upgrade with a grid-like finish. 'With this re-engineered model, we brought back the aesthetic codes of the original 1976 Ingenieur SL 1832, pairing them with the ergonomics and finishing of a luxury sports watch for today,' Knoop explains. And with only 1,000 being produced, you'll need to move like an F1 champ to get your hands on one before the chequered flag is waved.

Stressed Bill Belichick seen drenched in sweat with Jordon Hudson after rushing through airport to catch flight
Bill Belichick got so hot and flustered during a race to make a flight to Las Vegas on Wednesday that he was sweating through his clothes. Pictures obtained by Daily Mail show the six-time Super Bowl winner and 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson stood at their gate after sprinting through the terminal at Charlotte Douglas International airport. The couple were hoping to make a plane from North Carolina to Las Vegas but their efforts had left Belichick, 73, drenched in sweat. The pictures show the UNC coach and his younger girlfriend talking to a member of airline staff with a huge sweat patch all the way down his back. Unfortunately, he had chosen to wear a light grey hoodie which meant his perspiration could be clearly seen from distance. Belichick was obviously tense as he was seen arriving at the gate at 6:58am, just 16 minutes before his flight to Las Vegas was due to depart. Witnesses also claim that Belichick hadn't even had time to put on his socks, such was the rush he found himself in. Fortunately for the couple, they were allowed to board their flight. They even packed some extremely sparkly luggage as Hudson posted a picture of them wearing their respective championship rings. Tagging their location as Las Vegas, one of Belichick's Super Bowl rings and Hudson's cheerleading equivalent were both front and center of the picture. The purpose of their trip was to attend the grand opening of Tom Brady's Hall of Excellence museum at the Fontainebleau in Sin City. Two days later, Hudson posted a picture of her soaking up the sun in a bikini in California. She was lying on a sunbed with a cocktail in hand and plenty of delicious food next to her. Earlier this week she took a sly jab at Belichick 's ex partner, Linda Holliday, in a sentimental Instagram post, where she name-dropped 'Nantucket Socialites'. Hudson's post was primarily about Melissa Sapini, last year's Miss Massachusetts who relinquished her title this week to the new winner, with Hudson paying tribute to her friend's time on top on Tuesday. The long, sappy post included a jab at Holliday near the bottom, after Hudson gave Sapini tons of shout-outs. 'I know you will keep shining, metamorphosing and taking up space; even when others threaten you and insist that you don't belong, e.g. the "Nantucket Socialites"' Hudson said. Hudon's jab is in reference to an incident where Holliday did not like Hudson and Sapini coming to a certain Nantucket Christmas party late last year. Belichick, 73, and Holliday, 61, broke up in September 2023 after 16 years together. He met Hudson on a flight from Boston to Florida in 2021.
